    Wondering what's better:

    1. A conditional in functions.php to trigger a function (like is_page, is_home, is_whatever)...

    2. Or just put the function in the actual template file (page.php, home.php, page-id.php).

    I know it's going to work both ways, but I would like to know if there is any difference between them somehow, even for performance reasons.

    Since "functions.php" is always loaded, but the template only if it's required, wouldn't be better just writing the function on the actual template file?

    Thanks people! 🙂

    If a trigger is to add widget on homepage, why put in functions.php file. Just add in front-page.php

    However, if trigger is to display widget on every page, add to functions.php

    Both methods work, however for home specific actions - using front-page.php makes more sense.
